Psychology and the Church: Critical Questions, Crucial Answers

Psychology and the Church: Critical Questions, Crucial Answers

So common is the use of psychotherapy among Christians today that many pastors themselves are either licensed therapists or are the greatest source of referrals to professional counselors. In addition, the study of psychology has become the number two-career choice for all college students; in fact, the popularity of this “science of the soul” is even greater among those enrolled in Christian colleges, universities, and seminaries from coast to coast. The purpose of this book is not to attack or condemn evangelicals who are either practicing psychotherapists or those who have been helped by what is commonly called “Christian Psychology.” Rather, this volume acknowledges the value of believers bearing one another’s burdens through prayer, fellowship, and the Word of God. Simultaneously, this compilation exposes—in a biblically incisive manner—underlying concerns that have plagued the evangelical community as a result of embracing what is tantamount to a counterfeit religious practice, woven into the fabric of contemporary Christianity. Some of the critical questions and crucial answers this book explores include: • From what ancient philosophical roots does psychology originate, and what are its modern fruits?
• Is psychology truly a “scientific” means by which the spiritual issues of mankind may be addressed?
• What does God’s Word prescribe as a remedy for the social ills of our culture, and is that alone sufficient for the Body of Christ?
• Can Christians effectively minister using Scripture and prayer by power of the Holy Spirit, or is professional training required?
• Is it possible for believers in Christ to “eat the fish and spit out the bones” with regard to psychology’s foundation in secular humanism?
• Can the mystic and occultic methodologies employed by secular psychotherapists be “sanctified” for practice by Christian counselors? • Does the wisdom of psychology point to the narrow way of biblical Christianity or toward the broad path that leads to destruction? • What understanding of “Self” can psychology bring to light that Scripture cannot?

The Nonnegotiable Gospel

The Nonnegotiable Gospel

Most people are surprised to learn that the gospel contains nothing about baptism, church membership or attendance, tithing, sacraments or rituals, diet or clothing. In fact, if we add anything to the gospel, we have perverted it. So whether you are just checking out what the Bible has to say or whether you’ve been attending church for years, this booklet cuts through religious confusion. It contains no hidden agenda or clever doctrines of men. Instead, it invites the reader into a pure, personal relationship with Jesus Christ through an unadulterated understanding of God’s Word. This evangelistic booklet reveals the gem of the gospel in every clear-cut facet for anyone desiring a precise biblical definition of the gospel.

Yoga and the Body of Christ

Yoga and the Body of Christ

Promising to bring peace, healing, and wholeness (even prosperity!) to its practitioners, readers will be shocked to discover that yoga is, in fact, based on the worship of (and prepares participants for supernatural connection with) unholy spirits that manifest in extraordinary and dangerous ways. The author—an avid promoter of biblically based physical, mental, and spiritual wholeness—distinguishes pure truth from popular belief in this revealing expose. Every Christian should be informed of the true origins and effects of the practice of yoga and its ungodly roots in Kundalini energy—which, literally defined, means an awakening of the "Serpent Power."

Genre: Novel
Tag: Entertaining

THE COLD WAR FOR PSYCHIC DOMINION HEATS UP! Ken Inman experienced an exhilaration beyond his wildest imagination. He had made contact! Excitedly he listened: “We’ve been watching your development—we’re here to help you take the next step. Open up. There’s nothing to fear.” Spine-tingling action follows this incredible breakthrough in mind research. Opening doors to the unlimited vistas of the mind, the Archons share their gift of psychic power, promising a new era of peace. But then governments get involved... Discovering the CIA and Russian Intelligence’s battle for psychic control, famed journalist Carla Bertelli delves into the power behind the Archons. Convinced they are benevolent, she is devastated when Ken renounces the paranormal and embraces Christianity. Torn between her love for Ken and her contempt for his “demons theory,” Carla plunges into a search for the truth that becomes a desperate race against time... Reader Reviews: “I couldn’t put this book down. Dave Hunt does a wonderful job with this fictional book, originally written as a screenplay. It presents some [fascinating factual ideas] within a fictional setting. The explanation Dave Hunt provides...for UFOs and Aliens is actually quite reasonable and believable.... Well done. It has remained my favorite book since I first picked it up. Good Job Dave Hunt!” —IW “First published in 1989 but perhaps more up to date than today’s newspaper. I seldom read fiction but I got into this. The best fiction book I have ever read.” —TG “A great book to learn about aliens and UFO invasions. The Mind Invaders gets down to the truth about physics and fortune tellers.... One of Dave Hunt’s best!” —EY “The Mind Invaders is a must read! I picked up this book by accident. However, after I began reading it I simply could not put it down! Dave Hunt weaves a tale of intrigue, suspense, and super-reality that may give answers to the complex question of UFOs, ascended masters, and the netherworld that surrounds us. This is simply quite a compelling work of fiction that is more reality and truth than one may want to admit. I highly recommend it to all.” —DF “An excellent novel, a must-read, a hard book to put down! This is the best fiction novel that I have ever read.... A very realistic book—something that could happen, or may be happening now. Thanks, Dave Hunt for such a good book.” —AR (Originally titled: The Archon Conspiracy)

Seeking and Finding God

Seeking and Finding God

In Search of the True Faith Readers of Dave's book, An Urgent Call to A Serious Faith, will recognize and appreciate that this handy volume includes revised versions of the first eight chapters of that powerful work, plus an entirely new chapter, which together serve to make this a powerful tool for evangelism and discipleship. It is astonishing how many millions of otherwise seemingly intelligent people are willing to risk their eternal destiny upon less evidence than they would require for buying a car or even a low-carb food item—yet the belief of so many, particularly in the area of religion, has no rational or factual foundation. With well-researched arguments and compelling proof, this book demonstrates that the issue of where one will spend eternity is not a matter of preference (like joining the Elks instead of the Lions). In fact, there is overwhelming evidence that we are eternal beings who will spend eternity somewhere. But where will it be? And how can we know? There is no more important question to be faced—and answered.
Table of Contents:
1. The Necessity of Certainty
2. Of God and Human Destiny
3. Of Bodies and Spirits
4. In Search of the True Faith
5. Concerning Prayer
6. Shortcut to Truth
7. What is the Gospel?
8. Mercy vs. Works

The Seduction of Christianity: Spiritual Discernment in the Last Days

The Seduction of Christianity: Spiritual Discernment in the Last Days

The Bible clearly states that a great Apostasy must occur before Christ’s second coming. Today Christians are being deceived by a world view more subtle and more seductive than any before.

 

What are the dangers in the growing acceptance and practice of—

  • positive and possibility thinking
  • healing of memories
  • self-help philosophies
  • holistic medicine

The seduction of Christianity will not appear as a frontal assault or oppression of our religious beliefs. Instead, it will come as the latest fashionable philosophies offering to make us happier, healthier, better educated, and even more spiritual.

A compelling look at the times we live in. A clear call to every believer to choose between the original and the counterfeit. Only then can we hope to escape The Seduction of Christianity.

What Love Is This?: Calvinism’s Misrepresentation of God

What Love Is This?: Calvinism’s Misrepresentation of God

Berean Call is pleased to announce the publication of Dave Hunt's crucial critique of Calvinism—now in paperback! This fourth edition has a couple of noteworthy differences and advantages from the third hardcover edition. First of all, this important resource is now able to be distributed to Christian inmates (hardcover books are not permitted in prison). Second, in order to make the book more portable and affordable, chapters 30 and 31 (which presented the fictional but true-to-life account of "Al" and "Jan") have been extracted. The material from these two chapters is contained in a separate book: A Calvinist's Honest Doubts. Lastly, documentation and formatting have been fine-tuned to improve accuracy and readability. We trust that even more readers will be blessed by the availability and increased "share-ability" of this important work. Discussions with many people around the world reveal that multitudes of sincere, Bible-believing Christians are "Calvinists" only by default. It takes only a few simple questions to discover the fact that most of those who regard themselves as Calvinists are largely unaware of what John Calvin and his early followers of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries actually believed and practice. Nor do they fully understand what most of today's leading Calvinists believe. What Love Is This? exposes the true beliefs of Calvinism and addresses all the issues surrounding this doctrine.

Contents: 1. Why This Book?
2. Is Biblical Understanding Reserved for an Elite?
3. John Calvin and His Institutes
4. Calvinism's Surprising Catholic Connection
5. Irresistibly Imposed "Christianity"
6. Arminius, Dort, Westminster, and Five Points
7. Total Depravity
8. The Solemn Issue: God's Character
9. The Truth about Human Depravity
10. A Distorted Sovereignty
11. Sovereignty and Free Will
12. Foreknowledge and Man's Will
13. Erasmus and Luther in Debate
14. The Bondage of the Will?
15. Unconditional Election
16. Is Salvation Available to All?
17. Foreknowledge and Predestination/Election
18. Limited Atonement
19. Abusing God's Word
20. Understanding Pivotal Scriptures
21. More Pivotal Scriptures

A Woman Rides the Beast: The Roman Catholic Church and the Last Days

A Woman Rides the Beast: The Roman Catholic Church and the Last Days

Are you missing half the story about the last days? Virtually all attention these days is focused on the coming Antichrist―but he is only half the story. Many people are amazed to discover in Revelation 17 that there is also another mysterious character at the heart of prophecy―a woman who rides the beast.

Who is this woman? Tradition says she is connected with the church of Rome. But isn’t such a view outdated? After all, today’s Vatican is eager to join hands with Protestants worldwide. “The Catholic church has changed” is what we hear.

Or has it? In A Woman Rides the Beast, prophecy expert Dave Hunt sifts through biblical truth and global events to present a well-defined portrait of the woman and her powerful place in the Antichrist’s future empire. Eight remarkable clues in Revelation 17 and 18 prove the woman’s identity beyond any reasonable doubt.

A provocative account of what the Bible tells us is to come.

Video-The False “Unity” Of Ecumenism

Video-The False “Unity” Of Ecumenism

Top Reviewer Comments

Dave Hunt (1926-2013) was a forthright Evangelical apologist who could never be accused of mincing words when it came to the Gospel. In this film, Hunt examines how ecumenism squares with God's Word. Special emphasis is given to the Vatican's efforts to gather together all of the world's religions under its leadership.

Scripture says there is only one way of salvation, by God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Ecumenists claim there is truth in all religions and that everyone can merit Heaven by "following the light they've been given" and by being "good." The current pope has said EVEN ATHEISTS will merit Heaven if they are "good" and follow their consciences.

Video- Deception in the Church

Video- Deception in the Church

Dave Hunt points out that deception in the church is nothing else than doctrines of devils. He explains lies that have entered the protestant evangelical church of our day, namely the denial of the deity of Christ, denial that forgiveness comes through the blood of Jesus, Inner healing, Alpha Course, etc. We should avoid being sidetracked by lying spirits.
